Engineers from the Afghan National Army (ANA) 209th Corps’ 2nd Brigade Route Clearance Company use metal detectors to sweep for possible improvised explosive devices (IED) while Afghan National Police patrol ahead and speak with the local villagers specifically asking for information about the insurgency. This took place during an ANA led counter-IED mission in the Charah Darah district of Regional Command-North, Afghanistan. (Photo by U.S. Army 1st Lt. Brittany Ramos, Task Force Comet Public Affairs)
